#someone: i had a dream once

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

Alas, this beautiful dream could not last.

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #dungeon meshi spoilers #better drawn mdzs #(<- my higher effort art tag. I need to get a new one.) While it's different from my usual style I really loved how this came out! #Strolling back to the art scene to remind everyone I am still a lover of botanicals. #I had a blast with the symbolism for this one: #White lilium longiflorum (easter lily) for rebirth. Purple hyacinthus orientalis for sorrow and forgiveness. #Red spider lily (Lycoris radiata) for loss and death. #'Rebirth into something new' is so well done in Dungeon Meshi. She is back but she is not the same. #The last few episodes/chapters gives her this dreamy quality to her. As if she's not quite real. She's so perfect in their memories. #And as we know of dreams - no matter how sweet- they must end once we wake up. #It is so painful to lose someone twice. To see someone you loved in a dream and wake up and remember that loss again. #Dungeon Meshi being a grief allegory is important to me. I'll explain more as the story continues B'*)

Alaxia busts out laughing hysterically at his come back, nearly causing him to topple over As he regains his standing position, he attempts to stand normally He is still barely able to control himself as he continues to giggle and try to hide behind his tail, trying to pretend he wasn't laughing He certainly thinks he's funny.

I see people say that Damian likes classical music but that gremlin definitely likes R&B, pop and kpop, but he will never admit it, he likes music with strong instrumentals and loves songs with good bridges.

So we all know that Damian is never fully asleep and that he has a lot of nightmares and is always on his guard, sometimes when he can't sleep and is very paranoid he definitely starts listening to music and starts dancing all over his room and goes down. like at 4 am to eat (everyone goes to sleep at 3 am or leaves the manor because if they stay Alfred will force them to go to sleep) while he walks down the normal hallway while singing silently and he goes down the stairs dancing (he's a teenager, let him be)

definitely kiss of life, beyonce, ariana grande, the weekend and chase atlantic are in his 4 am playlist.

On patrol he listens to nmixx, aespa, stray kids and bts (one of his favorite songs is no more dream, fight me)

Cass introduced him in the world of kpop, she definitely knows all of gfriend's choreographies (which are terribly complicated), and she taught them to damian while they were spending charity time together because they are the only members of the "raised by league" club of assassins and later taken in by bruce wayne"

Damian also sings very good but the only ones who know that are Duke (he heard him singing and told him he sang well), Cass because he once snuck into the mansion (there was supposed to be no one there) and heard him, and Alfred because he's alfred

#once tim almost caught him but he notice before it was too late #but tim had one foot on the other side so he probably would thought that he was dreaming if he would #Idk why I put this here #let my son be a teenager #teenagers dance while listening music at 4am #I need someone to do a fic abt this #damian wayne #damian wayne headcanons #cassandra cain #cassandra cain headcanon #you can see it if pay a lot of attetion #I love her #duke thomas #just for like 1 second but he is there #that's what matters

had a dream last night that rick astley was in the donbrothers. he didn’t transform or anything, he was just there.

#tokusatsu #donbrothers #avataro sentai donbrothers #donbros #rick astley #my weird dreams #weird dreams #also utsumi from build was there but he was a monster and had been turned to stone #once he was freed from his stony prison he had stretchy arms #i think zox was there too but i don’t remember for certain #also also someone called saruhara donkey kong which i mean… it fits. y’know. cause monke. #but yeah there was a quarry fight and everything #more of a quarry chase sequence because utsumi kept spider-man-ing around with his stretchy arms but whatever same thing

Ok I've already gone into in game AkiAn but I'm the AkiKoha guy in a server so I'm going into in game AkiKoha

In the main story, Akito isn't happy An chose Kohane to be her singing partner. She's a rookie, has no clue at all about singing or RAD Weekend (Toya at least had a musical background). Plus, An is Ken's daughter. You know, the guy he idolizes? Also Akito and An hold some respect for each other as they share the same dream. For her to spend so long waiting for the right partner and to then choose someone with no tie to music at all, Akito most definitely felt conflicted about it.

However, there's the fact Kohane at the beginning of the main story is in a fairly similar position to Akito when he first ended up on Vivid Street.

Kohane at the beginning didn't have a dream or ambition, she wasn't like Minori who tried again and again in idol auditions, she wasn't like An who she saw singing on the side of the street with so much passion.

Compare that to the younger Akito we see in Summer Festival, he just quit soccer because he thought he wouldn't be able to bring the same level of devotion to it. When Ena takes him to see the concert he decides to try again with music. When he watches RAD Weekend he turns to street music in particular. The two shared a similar sense of not being able to fully commit themselves to a specific thing.

Not to mention that a lot of Vivid Bad Squad's story links back to resolve. That's what Akito was testing in the main story, even if he doesn't go about it the best way, and it's what Kohane realised as well. She doesn't even hold it against him at the end, when Akito and Toya have their conflict she goes out of her way to speak to both of them. (And forgive me because it's been a while, but if I remember correctly An says Kohane doesn't need to do so herself.)

Kohane is thankful to Akito for helping her come to terms with committing to street music. When the main story ends and Vivid Bad Squad is formed, Akito is able to recognise that she does have the resolve. We don't get as much for them in the event stories but I do want to point out Kick It Up A Notch, where Akito backs Kohane up on letting her open for them at Crawl Green. That's significant because Find A Way Out establishes how important the Crawl Green event is to Akito, it's his chance of redemption at the place he once made a fool of himself at. He trusts Kohane enough to open for such a significant event for him.

AkiKoha is about acknowledgement and trust. They literally have a kizuna rank titled "Acknowledging Your Resolve". Akito acknowledged Kohane could commit to surpassing RAD Weekend, Kohane trusted his judgement to change so she could. Kohane acknowledged how important Crawl Green would be to him, Akito trusted her to open for them.

I wish that was acknowledged (haha) more. Both in a platonic and romantic sense.

#bagel's rambles #akikoha #funny enough this was also inspired by someone not happy with how they're interpreted in fanon #and said person is right btw. they're not just typical shoujo couple #they share the lack of a musical background an and toya have. they both had to learn to commit fully to music #it's just akito already went through that slump and his arc is about learning he doesn't have to play catch up anymore #and kohane's is learning how to commit to that dream and stand on her own two feet #(and if that person is reading hi thank you for inspiring me to make this) #someone set me off on antoya and toyakoha then i'll have the whole set of the overlooked dynamics of vbs #(tbf sometimes anhane and akitoya are overlooked as well but. you know what i mean) #eh idk if i want to main tag this #this has been done in one go so it's definitely not perfect. once march 2nd fic is done i'll get into writing this out fully

Very silly Dreamling Modern/ Human AU I came up with out of the blue, somewhat based on my own experiences working at a mall (only sadly minus the romance parts xD)

Dream is the owner of a used bookstore down at the far end of the mall where not a lot of people come anymore, but he doesnt mind as it keeps the bookstore calm and quiet and chill, which he really appreciates after the stress of his last job (something about Burgess here? Stole/bought out Dream's old boosktore location that was its own building?)

At least its quiet until the DnD/RPG shop owned by Hob Gadling opens up right next store and Dream has to listen to kids screaming through the walls each day

Dream is less than enthused about his new neighbor at first but of course they meet cute when one or the other wanders into the others store to say hello/complain about the noise

And of course Hob would like books and Dream would end up loving DnD and they start falling in love

For conflict they have to deal with scheming Thessaly who runs the crystal stall in the downstairs hallway, Burgess coming back to try and buy out the mall cuz its starting to lose business cuz the economy sucks and the boiler breaking and floods Dreams store (this happened to us once :/) and he almost gives up then

But happy ending eventually due to their efforts and the mall is saved and they kiss xD

#very random but it made me smile and i wanted to share #i almost made hob's store an ax throwing ring #we had one of those in the mall once #and the thought of Dream sitting behind the counter as he heres the thunk thunk thunk of axs hitting the wall behind him xD #we have a baseball pitch next store to us atm and it can get rather thunderous:/ #mervyn is the long suffering mall janitor #Corinthian used to work at the bookstore but got fired when Dream walked in on him making out with someone behind the counter #(this also actually happened) #dreamling #dream of the endless #hob gadling #sandman #sandman au

The thing I really love about Yu Mei-Ren is that no one expects her to be any foil/parallel to Archer/Shirou because it’s just not obvious. She’s not made to be the obvious foil like Gilgamesh to Emiya, or the half foil/parallel of Cu to Archer, or even the obvious reminiscence that Saber is to Archer. People think Yu Mei-Ren is just a True Ancestor so in love with her husband and that’s her motivation, and no one would connect that to Archer/Shirou because there’s no direct conflict to pit the other against another.

But this Chaldea’s Thriller Night lays it out pretty well that she does contain something you can relate to Archer/Shirou. Not only do both Emiya and her take a well-deserve center stage in this event but Emiya also shows up in her interlude. Before I thought it was a bit random of why any character he should show up in her interlude.

It got me thinking after she says this in the event.

In UBW, Shirou confronts is ideals/dream head on and despite the path it led Archer down, he decides he was going to go down it all the same. Stardust is a theme that is pretty much associated with Archer. He’s not the starlight that Saber is, the star that Shirou hopes to become, he’s the aftermath of what the ideal truly is, destroyed and broken—he’s stardust.

Yu Mei-Ren refers to herself as stardust because she is no longer how she used to be—an elemental spirit in love who lost her husband and wandered for thousands of years, wishing for death and lamenting. She’s only gotten back what she’s lost, and even as the stardust, she presses on which at the end of UBW Archer does too after having his Hope renewed.

The foil/parallel I see it as that she is an elemental spirit who wished nothing to do with humanity and Archer a man who wanted to save humanity, both fought for some survival of themselves and eventually lost the things they wanted to keep (his ideal; her husband). Both trapped in an endless cycle of pain, him constantly killing as a CG and her constantly being killed and hunted by humanity.

On a slightly different note, throughout the event despite numerous warnings, Yu Mei-Ren keeps dying which is more comical in the event, and because she’s immortal, it gets brushed off. In a similar light, Shirou is constantly wounded nearly mortally many times throughout each routes, but thanks to Saber’s sheath, he comes back as if nothing happens. During the Zombie Movie Segmant, Yu Mei-Ren risks her life to save the others and willingly let’s herself die (only to come back in a comedic way later) but her resolve reminded me of how Shirou fully accepts Archer’s Arm in Heaven’s Feel and decides to face Heracles (a mindless servant at that point like the zombies).

Towards the end of the event, Xu Fu wants to give Yu Mei-Ren death, what she wanted so long ago because that’s the way to end her suffering. But Yu Mei-Ren refuses, and accepts the fact her path may very well end up suffering again and she may go on, angry at her past self (sounds familiar? Archer is literally that.)

Regardless of it, Yu Mei-Ren decides the path she has now, the happiness she has found, is worth it. Like Shirou decided that his dream isn’t wrong, he would continue down that path.

Of course, there’s a segment where she is fighting her doppelgänger but gives up, and makes a reference to UBW of Archer’s own conflict to Shirou, which Archer is visibly pained by.

Even if her choices to not die will come to haunt her later, she accepts that her choice now and before (this event tries not to spoiler LB3 but you can connect the dots) to be reunited with her husband are not wrong.

Which I really loved this event for touching upon these subjects, and having Emiya being such a delight during it all. His story was already told but he gets to still be a guiding figure in an event that reminiscences his own arc.

#Mad’s Fate #fate grand order #fgo #emiya #archer emiya #heroic spirit emiya #Shirou emiya #yu mei ren #Chaldea’s thriller night #summer camp #i feel I could’ve worded this better #it just had me thinking #there’s also stuff you can relate to the dreams and illusions section with Kiara but i wanted to talk specifically about Yu #i swear I’ll just be writing ten different analyses of how different characters relate to Shirou/Archer #someone once said they would write a Bedivere/Shirou analysis and I’ve no idea if they did but I want to read it #one day I will compile a whole a essay on the Three Knights + Gil #i still need to do my Medusa one #I’m just relating everything back to Archer because he’s my favorite and y’all get to see what goes in my brain #mad’s fgo #but I swear I love this event so much it was really well done imo

i need to kiss someone right now. i need to hold their face as i lean in for the kiss. i need to feel their lips against mine and have our tongues slide across each other. i need to feel the slight hesitation before they finally give in and kiss me back with everything they've got. i need to feel the saliva stringing between our mouths. i need to feel their hands pulling me closer, desperate to feel all of me

#i just woke up from a dream where one of my friends wanted to kiss me but was too shy about it #but i could tell they wanted it so i gently rubbed their face and leaned in most of the way #and let them close the distance. they were still nervous until i slipped my tongue into their mouth #in which case all worry left their head and they kissed me back proper #and it was everything I've ever wanted in a kiss. but now im awake completely unkissed #I'm tired of getting teased by my dreams like that.. #i get stuck with all this vivid passionate imagery and no fucking outlet #i feel so pathetic yearning this hard but all my peers have had their first kisses #friends that i wanted to kiss going and kissing eachother in front of me just for the hell of it #the girlfriend i dated for longest refused to kiss me. i got like. maybe 2 cheek kisses? never once on the lips #even when i asked she would say no. i dont resent her for it but Man did it hurt #the closest I've ever gotten was one of my friends shotgunning me hits from his bong #every time my heart flutters and i want to kiss him for real #ive just been searching for someone to kiss me for a very long time #and ive just never found them...

#not snz and not a vent... just passive musing #had a dream two nights ago where someone who i used to know (and love a little) wished me goodbye with a #kiss to the hand before i flew away from them forever on a magic chair #which is very stud//io g//hi//bli-esque and frankly very unserious but #the feeling of grief i felt saying goodbye to a friendship which i had once held so close to me - and which i know can probably never #be as close as it was at that point in my life - stuck with me for a long time even after i woke up #it's been something i've been thinking about for awhile... but the dream felt like such a concrete and painful severance #i think that like a childish part of me wants to hold the people i'm close to at #the same distance and trust that they will stay there forever #but logically i know it's natural that the people i met under certain circumstances might drift apart once those circumstances change #for one or both of us... i guess friendship really is just a lucky convergence at one point in time where everything aligns #like i know this and i have known this for awhile but god does it hurt #especially those kinds of goodbyes that feel so gradual... not like a clear severing of ties but just a gradual disappearance #i think i probably have to not feel so hung up over what i used to have. and for the most part i am not; life goes on #but for those people? #i sometimes just miss them #there's a special kind of hurt knowing that i could reach out to them and say hello and that they would probably respond but that it might #never be quite the same again

Semi related to what I just talked about

But I remember once, when I was a kid, maybe thirteen or so, I had a dream about doxing before I even knew what doxing was

Like, no wonder it scares me, I've been scared of it before I knew what it was even called

And then I later befriended someone who doxed people lol

#random thoughts #my thoughts #once i dreamt #i had a dream #my friends #For anyone worried #They don't do it anymore #They do some other stuff I don't agree with now and then #But they haven't found out where someone lived and who their family was and yada yada in ages #Not sense their aunt was being blackmailed #And it made them sick to do that #Point is #I don't want anyone saying stuff about my friend #They are an amazing person #Who has needed help in the past #And they've made tremendous progress on so many things #I will sooner block someone then hear them out if they say anything rude about a Jo

#drugs tw #maybe. i just mentioned it lmao #i dont have anything against it i just have. never consumed it in any form LMAO #i remember thinking. wait thats weed what does it smell like #<- knows theres a Smell associated with it but ive never smelled it so i wouldnt know #obviously. i didnt figure it out thru the dream. #id say 'given the opportunity' but i did have an opportunity once and just. didnt do it LMAO cos i. found it on the ground (bagged) #and like. first of all i dont know whats in there. second i was more concerned that someone had apparently lost #what must have been at least a hundred dollars worth of weed #so i... put it back where i found it hagfdgbsjdvbhdfbg

[celestialvexation]

i forgot to mention but i woke up from a dream where my chest was pressed against a hard surface ( like the edge of a table ) and someone wearing combat or work boots had their foot on my back, pressing down hard. it's gotten to the point where it felt like i was getting crushed and couldn't breathe

kinda cool, ngl

#jaunty rambles #i always dreaming about someone or something harming and / or killing me #there was even a dream i once had; when i was kid; where i was just laying in the street #and a car ran me over #i'm like ''damn; even the dream world wants me gone" alsdfka #* i'm always

[bluravenite]

slight rant/vent

Though I'm also posting on twt at @bluravenite in case you want to interact with me outside of hate anons

Yk there's probably hate anons going around all the time but it's been really apparent this past week that some people genuinely don't know to shut the fuck up... I have stopped posting with the same frequency as i was bc i am working on commissions and drawing takes time but i might just keep a more sort of closed parasocial relationship/ treat Tumblr more as a portfolio than as social media if that keeps happening... Sorry that i rant in here a lot but it's genuinely exhausting sometimes when most of your mutuals on this app are getting rude anons...

#it's genuinely worrying bc it really makes you question what kinda people have it against u/ur friends #like why cant you just leave some people alone #and it makes me feel guilty too for wanting to also protect/defend my friends?? you know nothing about these people #but thats never an excuse to be such an asshole to people #once talked with someone who had me blocked here and they told me they didn't remember why but “clearly my values didn't align with theirs” #that still hurts because my values have always been to make this page safe for everyone #posting my silly little doodles and hoping it means something to people #because right now?? THIS is the closest I'll ever get to my dreams #so it really sucks that the closest thing to being a concept artist and freelance illustrator is seeing my friends getting hate for nothing #i might actually close comissions for the public after this... 1 because i need higher prices for my work #and 2 because i am unfortunately scared that im never gonna be good enough #because people who draw cant catch a fucking break sometimes #sorry for the rant again #raven vents

[mcnuggyy]

just remembered the fucked up dream I had last night where like 99% of the population switched bodies with somebody else somewhere in the world, BUT you weren’t aloud to talk about it at all or say who you really are or what your actual body looks like or else the government(?) would fucking kill you, like there was cameras watching us at all times, and people getting shot in front of us was common, it was very dystopian… but it was kind of an unspoken fact that almost all the people who were doing the best job at pretending to be people they weren’t were all transgender for some reason?? to the point where a lot of us had found ways to talk about it without talking about it and could bypass the cameras and shit… and the like guy who was all behind it had to get involved eventually…and he like started interviewing some of us and finally once and for all had us talk about who we really were and it was very dramatic and emotional but I woke up like immediately after saying what I looked like and who I was so 🤷🏻 who knows what would have happened next LMAO

#definitley some sort of weird queer horror trans narrative going on #but waking up I was like damn… I was getting misgendered left and right non stop and just had to deal w it #then I was like oh that’s already my existence LMAO #(I was on the body of a very very attractive young blonde woman btw #like MODEL type but I was still unhappy… even being conventionally attractive cause obviously I wasn’t myself #and I can’t even imagine what it would have been like with people experiencing racism for the first time or not experiencing it for the firs #t time… all sorts of wack stuff #I remember there being like a 60 year old guy who was on the body of a little girl #and when they die their bodies switch backed so you would see the like dead old man there instead of the little girl #but I’m not sure what happened to the other person you switched with? like did they die too? would u be responsible for their death? #or would they get to finally live as themselves again? #which would be worse? #idk… #cause then I could see like someone trying to find themself and then try and trick the other person #into talking about it so they could return back to their body #or you would always be on fear that someone out there on the other side of the world could kill you at any moment #NOT TO MENTION THE LANGUAGE BARRIER OF THATS A THING but I think in my dream people just were able to speak the language of the body they #switched into but yeah… anyways <3 #very interesting thought experience once again my dreams are always so strange lmao #callate guero

[semiotomatics]

slept like 15 hours, which is great, but also (seemingly) spent that entire time having one long, incredibly vivid nightmare, which is. not so great

#and the thing abt nightmares is that they stick around #even tho im awake now. i know im awake now. i still feel like im there #or i guess more specifically i still feel like the things that were true in the nightmare are still true here #namely: that i had a stage 4 brain tumour and had been given weeks to live #which. i get _why_ thats what i dreamed abt #id been looking up my recent symptoms and a brain tumour was mentioned as a potential cause uhhh multiple times #not that i actually think i have a brain tumour #i dont #but still #i guess my brain held onto it #its dumb cause most of my nightmares are simple straightforward shit like someone's chasing me n trying to kill me or w/e #or theres some apocalyptic disaster #things that suck in the dream but that are usually p easy to “leave behind” once i wake up #like i know no one's chasing me anymore bc im lying in bed not running around or hiding or w/e i was doing in the dream #but this one was so. normal #i was on _discord_ #i had to tell my _friends_ #my brain keeps trying to file it away as a waking-world memory instead of a dream-world one #not to mention it clearly wants to pick up where it left off #like no. you dont have to tell me what wouldve happened next. you dont have to remind me of how i felt in the dream #_it didnt happen_ #anyway #glad i got so much sleep at least
